Roof wrap thoughts?

you'll want to use products like Prima Hydro (polymer sealant) or Griot's SprayOn Wax (natural wax) on the dinoc. no residue.

only thing with matte is if you use wax/polymer sealants to prolong the vinyl's durability it turns glossy. hahaha

I use Mequire's Ultimate Quick Wax on my matte wrap. Doesn't look shiny. Stay away from carnuba wax

3M CF vinyl will look better, be easier to apply and cheaper to buy

3M makes a satin black vinyl. It between matte and gloss. A lot easier to maintain for scratches and clouding due to the elements than gloss

I had mine for around 1 yr now. So far it looks great. The roof wrap also can be protect with 3M clear film which I'm getting done this Spring.

I like the matte black, I don't see how the gloss roof even matters.

IMO,carbon fiber look-a-like vinyl,no matter the brand,will make your car look cheap.
If budget is not a factor,save up for a CF roof cover.Also,do matching CF parts
on your Z.I've no interest in doing my roof,but I've done other parts like B-pillar and mirror base covers( from ZCF).Really make the 370 look updated.

So... old thread... anyhow, saw a pearl white Z yesterday in Pasadena FL with what looked like a red roof (either painted or wrapped). The red seemed to match the sport caliper color. Is this anyone's Z on this forum, or has anyone seen this done before? Unfortunately I didn't get to see much of it as it was in the opposing lane, so just a quick glance. Looked interesting.
